Gene has taken control of his pack after the devastating loss of
his father, Rick the alpha. He has been preparing for this his entire life, but
nothing could have prepared him for the brewing war, or the beautiful Talia.

Talia trusts no one. If she had it her way she would take her
son and run far away from everyone. But, she wouldn’t get far with her
psychotic family after her. Going against her better judgment, she teams up
with Gene in an attempt to end her family’s tyranny.

Bethany Shaw
lives in Ohio with her husband and two children. She has been married to her
husband for nine years and her children are five and two. She enjoys spending
time with her family and friends. Some of her other hobbies include, reading,
jogging, and family bike rides.

Writing has
always been a passion of hers and she is thrilled to share her work with you.

I had the privilege of interviewing this author and here are some fun thing I learned about her:

What inspired your
book?

My love for the supernatural. I wanted to create a unique world with
realistic characters who have to work through the paranormal elements as well
as the human emotions.

How do you spend your
free time?

With my family, reading, writing fanfiction, jogging, and going on
family bike rides.

What literary character do you most relate to?

Elizabeth Bennett

What is the thing you
struggle with the most while writing? And how do you defeat it?

Occasionally, I get stuck and I just reread what I’ve written, or I play the
scene out in my head while pacing through the house—my son always asks what I’m
doing when I do this.

If you could spend a day inside a book, which book would it be and why?

Any
book from the Shifter Series by Rachel Vincent.

When did you first realize you were an author?

The moment I hit the publish
button for my first novel, Out of the Shadows.

If your book was made into a movie, who would play the main character roles?

Jessica Alba and Nate Buzholic

What kind of music do you listen to while you write?

A little bit of
everything. I have a iTunes play list artists range from Metalica and Linkin
Park to Lana del Rey and Celine Dion.

What is your favorite part of writing?

Watching the characters become ‘real’
people.

What is your writing snack of choice?

Gobstoppers or Sprees.

If you could go out to
lunch with any literary character, who would it be?

Elizabeth Bennett

Which of your personality traits did you write into you characters? (Deliberately or
accidentally)

Natalia’s caring nature toward her son. It was deliberate as a
mother it made it easier to relate to her as a parent.

Synopsis:
New York City is famous for New Year's Eve—but most people don't celebrate it
with a fight to the death... with a wizard who's already dead! Of course, that
is only the beginning for Addison Rhydderch, who wakes up to learn that he's
the newest Regent—protector of the balance between the mundane and the
supernatural across the Eastern United states. Easier said than done, even with
the guidance of a dragon and the aid of a sultry dryad. Brave, clever, and
politically clueless, Addison seems like the perfect tool of the mysterious
Regency Board... but even those Magi could never have foreseen the results of
this appointment. With the Faeries threatening war and rumors of a mystical
murderer stalking the streets, it is soon up to Addison to try and put out the
fires flaring up from centuries old conflicts—Before both worlds are torn
apart!
